Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.2 enhances performance, extends Oracle compatibility and features the upgraded Postgres Enterprise Manager 3.0 - Mailing list pgsql-announce

BEDFORD, Mass. – November 27, 2012 – EnterpriseDB, the leading
worldwide provider of enterprise-class Postgres products, Oracle
database compatibility solutions and add-on tools for PostgreSQL,
today announced the release of Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.2. The
new version of EnterpriseDB’s flagship product offers an expanded
Oracle-compatibility feature set along with scalability and
performance enhancements that support larger, more complex enterprise
deployments.

Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.2 is paired with the additional
benefits of the new Postgres Enterprise Manager 3.0, also released
today. The new version of the popular enterprise database management
console includes a web client and a series of enhancements that make
it possible for a single database administrator to manage many more
databases than they could typically without such a tool. Both products
are immediately available.

The latest version of EnterpriseDB’s leading database product aims for
greater flexibility for the large enterprise. Some of the largest
brands in the world in the insurance, telecommunications, government,
finance, technology and other industries are deploying Postgres with
the help of EnterpriseDB and hardened developments from the open
source community. EnterpriseDB’s new version incorporates many of the
enhancements to Postgres developed and released last summer by the
open source community in PostgreSQL 9.2.

“We strive to keep pace with the evolving needs of our customers. The
market for Postgres is growing fast and global enterprises, with
complex environments and new demands, are increasingly turning to open
source and asking more of our products to support their transition,”
said Ed Boyajian, CEO and President of EnterpriseDB. “Continuing to
enhance performance, scalability and agility while expanding our
Oracle compatibility ensures we remain a long-time partner for our
customers.”

"The PostgreSQL community is moving fast and furious. The performance
improvements alone in the 9.2 release are staggering,” said Michael
Gargano, development manager of eScholar LLC. “It's good to see that
EnterpriseDB has been so quick to offer support and incorporate these
new features into its flagship product. You can be sure that we'll be
migrating to the 9.2 release as soon as possible."

Postgres Plus Advanced Server

The newest iteration of EnterpriseDB’s flagship product features the
ninth generation of Oracle compatibility for the Postgres Plus
Advanced Server. Easing migrations overall, the compatibility
enhancements expand object type support, enabling developers to
continue to realize value from their investments in Oracle skills and
tools.

Performance upgrades in the new release include better vertical
scalability on multi-core machines and faster read and write times.
The newest release also significantly advances the performance and
scalability of Postgres on hardware with up to 64 cores. Application
development improvements open up new applications to solutions
developed for PPAS, including support for range types and JSON data
types.

Maintenance improvements ease a range of burdens on system
administrators and DBAs while security advances, including
SQL-conforming USAGE privilege on types and View Security Barriers,
continue to make Postgres Plus Advanced Server the most secure among
the open source databases.

Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.2 is available today on Linux 32 and
64 bit platforms, Windows 32 and 64 bit platforms, HP-UX on Itanium
and Solaris. For more information, please visit
